Introducing the Adjectives

Adjectives Definition: word used to modify a noun or pronoun. Often answers the question "What kind of ________ is it?" –The red truck sped by us. –What kind of truck? -- red –The good mechanic passed our car.

3 Types of Adjectives Usage Attributive: attributes a characteristic to the noun -- The good book Predicate: Assigns a characteristic to the subject of the sentence -- The book is good. Substantive: the adjective acts as a stand alone noun -- The good die young. These three usages are the tricky part of adjectives. Note the differences well.

A "Good" Adjective Paradigm Masc Fem Neut Masc Fem Neut Nom Sg a]gaqo<j a]gaqh< a]gaqo<n Gen Sg agaqou? a]gaqh?j a]gaqou? Dat Sg a]gaq&? a]gaq^? a]gaq&? Acc Sg a]gaqo<n a]gaqh<n a]gaqo<n Nom Pl a]gaqoi< a]gaqai< a]gaqa< Gen Pl a]gaqw?n a]gaqw?n a]gaqw?n Dat Pl a]gaqoi?j a]gaqai?j a]gaqoi?j Acc Pl a]gaqou<j a]gaqa<j a]gaqa<

Attributive Position (+ Art.) Attributive: the Adj. has the Article –o[ a]gaqo>j lo j lo<goj -- the good word –o[ lo<goj o[ a]gaqo<j -- the good word –e]gw o[ poimh>n o[ kalo o[ poimh>n o[ kalo<j –I am the good shepherd (Jn. 10:11).

Predicate Position (No Art.) Predicate position the Adj. has no Article but the noun has a Art. –a]gaqo>j o[ lo j o[ lo<goj -- the word is good. –o[ lo j -- the word is good. –kai> o[ ou$toj di o[ ou$toj di<kaioj –and this man was righteous (Lk. 2:25).

Predicate or Attributive? Sometimes both the noun and the adjective do not have the article in which case context must determine whether it is predicate or attributive –kai> a]nh>r a]gaqo>j kai> di a]nh>r a]gaqo>j kai> di<kaioj –and a good and righteous man (Lk 23:50)

Substantive Use -- No noun The substantive often has the Article but no accompanying noun –oi[ de> di n ai]w di n ai]w<nion –and the righteous unto eternal life

The "is" verb PAI -- ei]mi< Singular Plural ei]mi< I am e]sme<n we are ei# you are e]ste< you are e]sti<(n) he/she/it is ei]si<(n) they are This verb is very important. Chant these forms.

Example of ei]mi< o!ti o[ qeo>j a]lhqh j a]lhqh<j e]stin. that God is true (Jn 3:33)

Negation of the Indicative -- ou] ou] -- before a consonant kai> ou] lamba ou] lamba<nete< me and you do not accept me and you do not accept me ou]k -- before a smooth breath vowel kai> le le<gei, Ou]k ei]mi< and he said "I am not“ and he said "I am not“ ou]x -- before a rough breathing vowel ou]x u[mei?j le<gete o!ti ou]x u[mei?j le<gete o!ti do you not say that do you not say that
